I don’t know if anyone is still up. (Stupid daylight savings; I don’t get as much time with you guys now. *Sob sob sob*!) But if anyone wants to tag and write with me I would welcome you with open arms. 😀

Peace be unto you too. 😀
Wow! That was impressive for someone who isn’t a writer. (I’m not sure I could have written that. 😛 )
Welcome to Kingdom Pen, David.
How long have you been doing art? I have always doodled, but just recently I have taken up art lessons with my sister. (She being my teacher.)
I have done a dingo in oils and I’m about to…[Read more] -

I just realized @faithdk, that my time was out. So you had probably finished. But I still wrote for 45min and completed a poem about birds. It is very cute. (Even if I do say so myself) 😉

Joshua is writing this because he wants to. I picture him as a bully. Yep, definitely a bully. But if something really bad happens, he is sorry for it immediately.
Thank you. That’s a good letter. I can see I shall have to do some serious thinking about it. 😀 -

@kate-flournoy, Lovely thoughts! 😉
@daeus, Oh, yeah. I struggle with showing and not telling when I’m writing. A lot. @ingridrd and I were looking through some of our novel chapters after the convention, and we found soooo much telling…Thank God for rough drafts! -

@dbhgodreigns, Yes, I see what you’re saying. I completely agree about Tim Shoemaker’s books; they’re awesome!
We need to get @kate-flournoy and @daeus‘s thoughts on this topic. 😉

@zoe-wingfeather, Hmm, those are some interesting points. I’ve never really thought about using smell like that before. And names! Am I the only one who spends 30 hours looking at baby name lists just trying to find the perfect name for the MC? XD Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Chloe!

He said that when you’re writing fiction, you need to show the story, not just tell the story. Let me give you an example of what I mean.Telling the story:

Ok, clarification: a jumper is what you American’s would call hoodies. *At least, I think* (Actually I had better change that as this is suppose to be an American story.) *the joys of different words which are for the exact same thing* 😉
You shouldn’t loathe letter writing. That’s great fun. 😀 (Alright, confession: I did…[Read more] -

Thanks both of you.

@faithdk I’ve reached 7,630 words. Which takes my story out of the short story category and makes it a novellette. 😀 Now, it go back through and refine it. *Stares at story* This might take sometime. 😀 *Such fun*
